StoryZoo & Friends Channel Debuts on Samsung TV Plus

FUNKE Digital has expanded its offering on Samsung TV Plus with the launch of a StoryZoo & Friends FAST channel in Germany and Austria.

The channel, for children up to 8, stimulates children’s creativity, imagination and early learning through series such as StoryZoo Adventures, Jungle Beat, Luchien and Molang.

FUNKE Digital has worked with Samsung TV Plus since 2016 and currently provides 26 channels in eight European countries.

“FAST continues to evolve to meet the demands of its growing viewership,” said Benedikt Frey, country lead for DACH and Benelux at Samsung TV Plus. “Audiences are responding to FAST because of its unique value proposition, offering specialized streaming content for all the family. We are very excited to further expand our partnership with FUNKE Digital in Germany and Austria and bring such high-quality educational children’s content to Samsung households.”

“This channel is a wonderful addition to our offering on Samsung TV Plus and is fully in line with our commitment to high-quality content,” commented Verena Märtens, head of content management partnerships and program planning (CTV) at FUNKE Digital. “With StoryZoo & Friends, we are particularly pleased to be able to provide a channel for the Kids hub on Samsung TV Plus for the first time.”

Johannes Gropp, CEO and founder of StoryZoo, added, “With StoryZoo & Friends, we offer children a varied, colorful and educationally responsible program for the target group from over 25 different brands. The launch in German-speaking countries is just the beginning for us, as the program will be successively expanded. We are both excited and proud to be working with FUNKE Digital to position the channel as a top international brand.”
